Yes, using helper also makes queued check consistently. Currently, most code
only calls commit_rqs if any request is queued, one exception is that
blk_mq_plug_issue_direct calls commit_rqs without queued check.
Besides, we can document the the rule before blk_mq_commit_rqs. Any caller
in future can notice the rule and match it.
I will send next version based on suggested helper.
Thanks.
